Playing in the Big 12 a defensive back will see a lot of explosive passing attacks, led by some really good receivers. Corey Coleman of Baylor and Josh Doctson of TCU were first round picks and Sterling Shepard of Oklahoma went 40th overall. Dillon was largely lost due to playing beside #14 overall selection Karl Joseph, who went to the Oakland Raiders.
The Texans are overhauling the safety position. Rahim Moore was released after the season was over, and now there is essentially an open competition. K.J. Dillon is in on it, as are former Jet Antonio Allen, former corner Andre Hal and Lonnie Ballentine, among others.
